Slutsky says make peace not war

That’s all from us for today, but we’ll leave you with this from Leonid Slutsky, who wants fans and the owners to make peace at Wednesday’s meeting.

Is there hope for City?

It’s only the brave, or the foolish who think Hull City can return to the Premier League at the end of the season.

That was the aim vice chairman Ehab Allam talked about earlier this season, but surely an aim that’s now gone with safety the priority.

If you still hold hopes of a top six finish, this may change your mind.

The weekend's winners and losers

The view from Millwall

Millwall boss Neil Harris has held a press conference ahead of facing Hull City tomorrow night. here’s what the Lions’ boss has had to say.

Hull coming to the Den should come as favourites because of the budget they’ve got and the transfer fees they’ve spent - running into 20, 30 million pounds. They’re a very good footballing side, they make a lot of passes, not quite as much as Reading, but they won’t be too far behind. We’ll have to be patient in our process to get the ball but we also know we can hurt them going forward. We have to make sure we defend really well and be clinical when we get chances.

Key decision

With Fraizer Campbell suspended on Saturday, Nouha Dicko came in and scored a goal in a good performance. Was it enough to keep his place Tuesday night at Millwall? Let us know which way you’d go.

Millwall get a boost

Millwall are set to be boosted by the presence of Tom Elliott for tomorrow’s game with Hull City at The Den.

Elliott went off late on in Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Sunderland and needed treatement

The striker needed treatment after a challenge with Marc Wilson at the Stadium of Light and was initially rated doubtful.

“Tom will be fine,” said Lions manager Neil Harris. “He just got a whack after he threw himself into a 50-50.”

Elliott has four goals in 12 appearances for Millwall so far this season.
